"Romance and thoughts of home..."

Not AoS, but I love this photograph from The National WWII Museum, New Orleans.




I think the cataloguer was rather fond of it too...

146. Photograph. “File No: SAC-R-7-205343. January 18, 1944. Carrier ‘concert’-Romance and thoughts of home intermingle in the minds of crewmen listening to a musical shipmate’s selections (on an accordion) on the forward turret of a five inch gun aboard the USS Saratoga - en route to battle.” 18 January 1944

I wonder how many of them returned from battle?

naval, history, vintage photos
